Spouse visitor visa while waiting sponsorship?

[yasims]

Hi Folks,
Is it possible to bring your wife on a visitor visa before or after applying for sponsorship?

Of course, my wife did it AFTER applying. It's more difficult when you're married, but just have to show lots of documentation that she has sufficient ties back home and will leave Canada before visa expires.

Hello,
I am form Romania and I have applied for PR via Outland Spouse Sponsorship (Common-Law) in Dec. 2015. I had a Visitor Visa for 3 years (2013-2016) and been to Canada 5 times and never overstaid my status. My last visit I stayed in Canada for 1 year (6 months, and extended for another 6 months). My passport has expired June 2016 and so did my Visa. I would like to apply for a new Visa since I'm not sure how long the PR process is going to be.
I don't really have any ties to home country to show (no property, no job). I do have a 10 years USA Visa that is still valid and lots of travel history.
Besides that I have: form my partner - letter of invitation, SA ( sponsor approval), T4 form, letter of employment, bank statement, common-law declaration (IMM5409), copy of his passport, copy of his birth certificate (Canadian citizen by birth). My documents are: passport old and new, travel history, previous visas (Canada and USA), police clearance, letter of explanation, return flight tickets.
Do I have any chances of getting a new visa in this conditions?? I can register a car on my name. Would that carry any weight as for ties to Romania??
Whats your experience/opinion??
Thanks for replying! and good luck everyone!

Your previous visits helps Visa Officer to say this applicant will not overstay.

Car helps. Registering at a local school also helps.

Good luck.

Thanks for your input.
My brother owns a business, he can hire me on a contract. Not sure if that would look good or bad though? I have been in Canada for the passed year and now I get a job in Romania?!?
I guess what I would like to know is if getting a contract from my brothers business would help or harm?
Kinda feel bad fibbing.
